College Baseball Fan Drops Toddler On Head In Pursuit Of Foul Ball
A pursuit of a foul ball nearly turned into a tragedy for one college baseball fan over the weekend … ’cause video shows as the man was hightailing it for a souvenir, he dropped a little boy on his head.
The scary scene happened on Sunday afternoon during the Campbell vs. N.C. State regional elimination game in Columbia, S.C. … when in the seventh inning, Wolfpack third baseman LuJames Groover III rocketed a ball into foul territory down the first base line.
Video from the game’s broadcast shows the baseball careened through a nearby concourse … as one man holding a toddler jogged after it.
But, you can see as the guy went down to grab it, he lost his balance … and collapsed to the ground. As he was falling, the child he was holding smacked his head hard on the pavement.
The kid seemed to be in pain … and even the game’s broadcaster noticed it all go down, letting out an audible, “Oh!” as the two tumbled to the ground.
Thankfully, it doesn’t seem the boy was significantly injured.
As for the game, N.C. State went on to lose, 11-1 … ending its season.
